readx; "At that time, Wenchengzha, where the Tang army was stationed, was more than 60 miles east of Caizhou, and Wufangcheng, which was heavily garrisoned by rebels in the middle, was of course difficult to bypass under normal circumstances. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ。 More recent chapters are available at: щw. Li Dingguo was very impressed by this classic example, and told the story, "And the rebel army is quite strong in combat, and the Tang army has repeatedly defeated the Tang army in recent years, and the Tang army has a fear of the rebels from top to bottom." Li Yu had already made up his mind to raid Caizhou, and had been waiting for a favorable opportunity before.

"At the beginning of October of the thirteenth year of Yuanhe, heavy snow fell within a radius of hundreds of miles in Caizhou, well, it may be similar to the current snow. On the 10th day of the first lunar month, the wind and snow were 'altering' and the sky was 'dark', and the rebels relaxed their vigilance in this bad weather and retreated in Wufang City to avoid the snow. Li Yu immediately made a decision, let the general Li You lead 3,000 death soldiers as the vanguard, and personally led 3,000 people as the middle army, and another 3,000 people marched east from Wenchengzha in the evening. And without mentioning the destination, only let the army go east, except for a very few high-ranking officers, no one knew where to go.

After traveling thirty miles to the east, the army arrived at the village of Zhangchai near Wufang, where only a few dozen rebels were stationed. After the Tang army soldiers surrounded and annihilated this small group of rebels, they thought that the commander would definitely win the division, but he did not expect Li Yu to order the army to continue to advance eastward. The soldiers asked where they were going, and then Li Yu told them that the trip was to attack Caizhou and take Wu Yuanji directly. All the soldiers were shocked, but the military order was like a mountain, and they had to follow the order.

"At this time, the army was already very close to Wufang City. It happened that there was an earthen pond where farmers raised 'chicken' ducks nearby, and in order to hide the sound of the army's march, Li Yu ordered his soldiers to throw and hit the 'chicken' duck with snow balls. The 'chicken' and duck were frightened, and sure enough, the sound of nearly 10,000 people marching was masked, and the tens of thousands of rebels in Wufang City were unaware.

After that, the Tang army forcibly marched for thirty-five miles, and the wind and snow were heavy on the way, and the banner was broken, and the people and horses froze to death looked at each other. However, they finally arrived at the city of Caizhou before dawn.

"Because of the division of the feudal town, the Tang army has not been to the city of Caizhou for more than 30 years, and it is a snowstorm night, and the soldiers guarding the city are completely defenseless. Li Yu's army had quietly climbed up to the top of the city, and the defenders were still asleep. After the Tang army took control of the 'gate' of the city, they ordered the night watchmen to fight as usual to paralyze the defenders, and broke through the inner city as usual. Until the Tang army surrounded Yacheng, where Wu Yuanji lived.

At this time, Wu Yuanji was still lying high, and when he heard his subordinates report that the Tang army was coming, he didn't believe it at all, and thought it was a 'chaos' caused by the prisoners in the city. His subordinates urgently reported that the inner city had fallen, but Wu Yuanji still didn't believe it, thinking that it was the front-line rebels who asked for winter cotton clothes. It wasn't until dawn that he found himself surrounded by nearly 10,000 Tang troops. At this time, it was too late to organize a rebellion, and soon the Tang army captured Yacheng, annihilated the rebels, and captured Wu Yuanji alive. After Wu Yuanji was captured, tens of thousands of rebels in Wufang and other places were leaderless, and they all surrendered, and Li Yu pacified the 'chaos' in Huaixi. ”

"What a powerful Li Yu!" Ma Qianxue was fascinated when she heard this, and it seemed to have an understanding after a while, "Do you also want to attack the Tartars on a snowy night?" However, Tartar is not as stupid as Wu Yuanji, and according to the report, the thief chief Amin did not defend in any city, and if you want to encircle and annihilate the white flag in the field battle, with our 8,000 troops, I'm afraid it will not be so easy! ”

Li Dingguo bowed his head and said: "Miss Ma is right, I don't want to destroy the Qing army in a war. Look at the map! ”

Li Laiheng and Ma Qianxue hurriedly followed Li Dingguo into the city tower, and Li Dingguo pointed on the map spread out on the table: "You see, the three cities of Qian'an, Yongping, and Luanzhou, which the Tartars now occupy, are arranged in a zigzag shape, and they are fighting each other; The main force of the Tartars is located between the three cities, and he will go to the city under which we attack to fight with us, which is indeed quite cunning. However, this formation is not monolithic. Laiheng, which of the three cities do you say is the best for us to fight? ”

At this time, Li Laiheng no longer had a hippie smile, and stared at the map seriously and analyzed: "It stands to reason that the closest city to us is Qian'an in the north, but Qian'an is close to the Great Wall and is an important border town, and the city wall is very high, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Moreover, once the Tartars retreat, they will definitely have to start from Qian'an, so they will definitely be heavily garrisoned there. Not to mention the Yongping Mansion in the east, Yongping is the closest to Funing, and the Tartars have just retreated from Funing, and they will definitely guard against the Shanhaiguan border army in the east. In this way, Luanzhou is the best fight, but unfortunately it is the farthest from here. ”

"That's right!" Li Dingguo immediately went on to analyze, "Now that our army has surrounded the Tartars from the east, west, and north, the Tartars must be very clear. According to the report, in addition to Qian'an in the north and Yongping in the east, the Qing army also had a small cavalry garrison on the road from Jizhou to Sancheng. As long as Sun Ge Lao led a large army from Jizhou, the Tartars would soon be able to know.

"So it's not easy to fight in the east, west, and north directions. Only Luanzhou in the south, because all the guards in the south of the area were withdrawn to Tianjinwei, it can be said that there was no pressure on the Tartars, and the Tartars certainly did not pay as much attention to this city as in other directions. If we can take advantage of the heavy snow to attack Luanzhou and take down the city with lightning speed, the triangular formation of Tartar will have a broken 'leg', which will be of great benefit to the encirclement and annihilation of the Qing army in the back. ”

Li Laiheng listened to it and said: "The words are true, but the task given to us by the Holy Lord is to block the retreat of the Tartars here, what if we go to attack Luanzhou and the Tartars run away from here?" ”

Li Dingguo said confidently: "So we can't go over with the whole army, and we can only dispatch half of the troops at most." If you agree to this plan, we will immediately send a message to the Holy Lord and Sun Ge Lao Feige, as long as it is approved, we must act immediately! ”

All the plans that Li Dingguo said, Ma Qianxue unconditionally agreed. Seeing that Li Laiheng was still a little hesitant, she pursed her lips and sneered: "What, General Pingnan, are you scared?" ”

Li Laiheng didn't have the heart to joke at this time, he frowned tightly and said: "Brother Dingguo's strategy is really powerful, but it is also very risky. In case you are discovered by the Tartars on the way, it will be all over. If you have to go, you can, you have to be me, you two are here to stay! ”

"Why?" Ma Qianxue felt that she was being despised and immediately raised her eyebrows, "Do you think you are more powerful than General Dingnan?" ”

Li Laiheng couldn't cry or laugh, and said in a hurry: "I said sister-in-law, I'm looking at the two of you!" Some time ago, you 4,000 horses worked much harder than me, so what's wrong with resting here for a few more days? ”

"It's been almost ten days since I rested!" Ma Qianxue had already spoken, only to realize that something was wrong, and when she was red-faced, she snorted, "You... You're talking nonsense again! ”

"Okay, okay, don't fight." Li Dingguo hurriedly persuaded the two people, "It's better to fly the pigeon first." If the Holy One approves it, it would be better for me to go. ”

"No, no, you have to tell a reason, why is it better for you to go than me?" Li Laiheng said unconvinced.

Li Dingguo said in a rare silence: "My face is whiter than yours, and it is not easy to 'show' on the snow!" ”
